Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra Band Rehersal Jan 07 – a photoset on Flickr
If you could only hear the cool transition from a slow Blues to a Bulerias we came up with. Gives me vertigo. I get the same feeling while performing or listening to a time change in music, in the above instance from 4/4 to 12/8, that I get from looking down from a tall building. Suspension, going through a tunnel, a funny sensation in the lower chakra… it’s a little unsettling – in a good way. Like a carnival ride.

Fermat’s Spiral

The sheet that was hanging above Santa Fe has been lowered and now it appears as if we could touch it.

Fermat’s Spiral — from Wolfram MathWorld
Does the spiral on the right at above page remind you of the yin-yang sign? (Reference found on Roshi Joan’s blog)

So many ways to get to the bottom. Music, math, particle study, genetics. Every road traveled far enough will give up some gems. A million ways to touch the sky.

Rehearsal at 10AM today. I want to play Havana Club again.

Added the SSRI label to Last.fm this week – Link. And here is the wikipedia entry on Last.fm, which is basically your own personal internet radio station. Flickr for music. It also suggests artists and albums based on the music you like. I hear this works pretty well with Reggae or Techno, but not so well for our kind of music (which is WHAT?). A while ago Canton suggested that the reason for that is that there is a lot more data available for those genres. That makes a lot of sense. Here is Jon’s artist page and here is Stephen. Check this out: Hm, I don’t own a single album by any of the guitarists that Last.fm suggests are similar to me.

Got home just in time after rehearsal – it’s snowing heavily again.

Thursday Morning Stuff

It’s Thursday Morning. 100% cloud cover. Like somebody had tied a bed-sheet above Santa Fe….

All of the iTunes reviews by the other “Ottmar Liebert” were taken down yesterday. I am off to have breakfast with Jon.

The Rahim, Ottmar, Jon and Barrett project (note to self – must find better name for the group!) is shaping up nicely. The few people who have heard it LOVE it. Maybe a Summer 2007 release…

Lots of interesting and even exciting stuff going on… hm, but nothing I can tell you about yet. What a tease…
